Love Notes
“Robin is a huge part of my success as a designer”
There are some people that are simply born to help others succeed and Robin is one of those people. She is a natural educator and has been a huge part of my success as a designer and business owner. When I started my own business, I could not have done it without Robin. She is a wealth of knowledge and is always so willing to share and teach. Not only did Robin help me at the beginning of this adventure, but she continues to do so. I owe her all of my successes! She helped this ship take off from the very first scary thought to a raging full-on business. I love what I do and Robin Fisher is to thank for that.

Robin is absolutely the best!

“Wonderful rapport and mentoring”
Robin has years of experience and knowledge base in kitchen and bath design, which is evident in her execution and teaching. She has helped me create better designs by asking key questions to help clarify the dynamic aspects of a design situation. Robin shares her practices with me as a mentee, whether it be in marketing, client relations or characteristic of the room that affect design decisions. Her willingness to share her expertise at every level of the process is so helpful. She knows technical software issues for drawing, best practices for good design, and can articulate her thoughts clearly. Robin is so personable and creates wonderful rapport with her clients and students. These are characteristics she wants to share with up-and-coming designers to give them confidence and a solid foundation to create their own business and thrive.
